Xperia Play Engadget hands on - XPERIA X10 General

linky
Its surprising, the playstation phone sounds like it could be a real success for Sony. I'm still kinda weary about the device as they may decide to drop it half a year later like they did with the x10... Also we still dont know what the battery life is gonna be like...

Im more interested in the Arc and if I want to play games on the go, the PSP2.

LOL what? You use your xbox 360 for gaming on the go?
I use a PSP/PS3 combo.

it's a nice device, but the ARC is what I'm looking for...
I'm curious as what kind of games will be available on the Xperia PLAY

Then why are you replying to a thread about a portable gaming phone with a post talking about an xbox 360?

Replying about a phone pretending to be a gaming device, I don't know why people bother. Merely agreed that i was looking forward to arc over the playstation phone. Delete the posts if you want

But I couldn't take the PS3 to wherever I go...
I don't like to have a lot of gadgets in my pocket, so the PlayStation Phone sounds really interesting specially for gamers who likes to have all-in-one, just like me. It's a good idea to have a phone on wich you can play in a very comfortably way, with a specialized control.
Of course, if we demand powered graphics and speed, then the PSP (or its possible successor) would be the right portable gaming device. But again, the reasons why I never bought the PSP are its size and the fact that it doesn't have a camera or any keyboard...
Between this phone and Arc, I'd choose this.

Im waaaaaaay more interested in the Arc, plus i dont play games on my phone...i wait till i get home and play COD on xbox 360...oh yeah! Lol

This is tempting, but I want the bigger screen and better camera on the Arc. What I really want is the phone rumored to be coming after the Arc though.

Same here cept for the arc part. The xperia play and arc dont even have a dual processor.
SE is probably going to price these phones ridiculously high while they already are outdated before they even are released because it will take a looonngg time for it to be released.
If not, SE might actually have learned this time.

The price for the Arc seems to be 500£ Play.com has their preorder up for 460£ (i apologize in advance if I'm using the wrong pound symbol, it's nowhere on my keyboard! lol)
Just to compare, the X10 had a 600£ MSRP when it came out. I think that the Euro/Pound/Dollar were all about the same number (not value as 600£ != 600$).

Why buying Arc or PlayStation phone AND buying PSP2? Spending 500£ in the Arc and 450£ in the PSP2... Damn
Unless the guy whom does this is rich , otherwise I wouldn't understand that.
Be logic. One option would be keeping the X10 and buying PSP2 this year... At least that's what I'd do.

Aww Someone is jealous of Xperia Play ,and he is so pissed at us, calling us suckers
Actually, I made the image. I hardly can be accused of being jealous of XPlay owners, but I feel that the phone has been brutally abandoned. I guess my sentiment isn't shared among the userbase...
No, it's not, and you look the fool.
With Gingerbread as standard on the phone I'd say SEMC is good for a while, the majority of other phones that are out now, including some just hitting the market don't even have that.
We're still waiting for Sony to come through with Playstation Suite, I'm guessing that will be a vital part of the appeal to Playstation Certified devices. In the meantime, it's a prime opportunity for developers of Android games to step up with the new coined "Xperia Play Optimized" label.
I'm not sure what more you want SEMC to do?
come on guys its just a stupid joke
we all have to be able to laugh at things in life
if they dont want a xperia play then thats fine who cares
its all dual core this dual core that
but at the moment dualcore is only good for one thing benchmarks!
there hasnt been a game that is designed only for a dualcore phone that
are phones cant play aswell
and lets be honest that why we all got a play, to play games
so who really cares if there apps fire up hundreds of a sec faster than ours
or when u browse the homes screens etc, theres is abit smoother?
we got our phones to play games and play them comfortably
and our phones do that better than theres.
THE END

Releasing a working PlayStation Suite on arrival, so that we can, you know, play games properly? Following a non-retarded bootloader policy? Updating our phones with interesting GAMING-RELATED content?
I agree with the Playstation Suite stance. They mention it every now and then but in no detail whatsoever.
But again, that's not SEMC, that's being developed by Sony (SCE). Different people.
A tweet attack, anyone?

If you want to use a ps3 controller, download sixaxis from the market. You can pair via bluetoothand map buttons to areas on the screen. It is great for games that don't want to support controllers. Not the best for dead space, since it wants you to rotate the tab and such, but great for 9mm, mc3, etc. It only works well with origional ps3 controllers, though.

Yes, it wasn't...but there was a cracked 1.1.37 version available that I installed, too....I must confess - just couldn't resist. Happily, now I'll be able to buy this game. Got to love it since its PC versions came out and it really deserves its money, especially if one's a horror-survivor genre fan!

Ahh well if u buy it! If developers would add demos i think that less people would steal but let's not talk to much about stealing cracked apps..
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
Unfortunately the only way to test this game on A500 was to install this cracked version. I always buy the apps I'm using and I strongly encourage that people support the devs, especially when Android apps are not that expensive at all. I also have a collection of programs in "My apps", that I've bought and would never use again....but that's life, in't it
p.s. you have my "Thanks" definitely!
so thanks to this post bringing the game to my attention, I bought it, and beat it, was great fun! I read here, and in reviews people could not play in landscape mod (horizontal) I never had that problem on my Acer iconia a500 played fine in landscape mode. I just bought it the other day so maybe they fixed it, or the problem only happens on some devices.

This is another much better concept idea which I found on the web the only problem was that they said it would have the aspect ratio changed but it was said to feature a tegra 3 as well as mini analogs like the vita

Remember that this is a fan concept art, it's not an official work or design from Sony.
I couldn`t imagine this ever becoming a reality, the simple issue of how the phone would slide up and down with those analogue sticks sticking out is enough of a problem.
That is so not even close to what reality would be, if an Xperia Play 2 even ever happens.
I don't know why people keep insisting on posting these xperia play 2 forms on here. Every time ones posted it receives nothing but the same replies as the other xperia play 2 forms. STOP POSTING THESE!!!!! We know the rumors, were all big fans of Sony's gaming products! Unless some news pops up with ACTUAL photos of a prereleased model we don't care. I thought you guys would of learned from the release of this phone, I know I did. The rumors for this phone started about 2 years before the release. So by my count you still have a year and a half till this phone comes out and that's if it actually does. So for the sake of the form and to save your a#$ from being chewed out don't post unless its GOOD NEWS!

If I recall properly, while the device sales weren't tremendous, this device managed to bring out a niche of gamers who actually buy games. It would make sense for them to hold off the release until they can't milk the Xperia Play's gaming side any longer, particularly if they're making money with Xperia Play Optimized licensed games as I suppose they are.
They sold a total of less than 1000 games the psx ones and the optimised did much better but still not great they need better and more games and pssuite as promised what we all want is console quality games on our plays like gta 3 they should really port the successful ps 1 and 2 games like god of war prince of persia silent hill etc they would make MUCH better sales and everyone would be happy

Why Sony (Ericsson) is better than others?

Most of you have been complaining about how crap is Sony etc etc. Just because they don't give you HDMI sources or Jelly Bean or whatever, doesn't make them bad.
Just a video, what I found on YouTube, that Sony can be better than Samsung.
Feel free to post more stuff if you wish.
Sound on headphiones much loder then on any htc or apple or any other phone i think is about 20% louder
The colors look more saturated on GSII, but more real on Arc. IMO
Another thing that I like of Sony (and the reaason why I'll stick to their phones) is their UI, they take care of almost every single detail, the icons, the music player, everything.
Very nice video

I like that sony sell device cheaply. At any price point sony hardware are better than other oem.
There's plenty of other thing that i like on Sony's. And my final grip on sony suckness has been remedy by Google abandoning nexus s and xoom at 4.1.

I guess Sony is back with a vengeance. I like many things that Apple and Samsung bring to the mobile market, but I'm tired of watching this duopoly develop, so I'm glad to see more competition and a disruption to that dupoply. I don't know where all you guys live, but where I live, almost ALL of the Samsung phones are almost as expensive as the Apple ones and at that they are all black retangular boring objects with NO differentiation. I'm glad to see NEW price points, COLOUR and CHOICE. Sadly, HTC, Sharp and others seem to have been falling apart in the last couple of years so any more competition is good.
(As for the resources, if you Google the stories you'll find a resource that you may prefer, these two were more credible for me.)

apparently steve jobs took inspiration from sony devices when designing the iphone. I read about it on xperia blog a couple of months ago
Possibly, but this must've been before there were smartphones, when the closest thing were PalmOS, Samsung devices pre iPhone looked like the iPhone, funny how nobody really knows that, and obviously iOS is very similar to PalmOS. But it's easy to nit pick, I don't really know what Sony phones used to look like...

Hdmi is ``a big'' difference, without adapters.
The HDMI sources isn't a great argument to hate them, if they write it themselves, which the probably do as they specialize in different electronics that use their code, most likely at least, so it's no surprise the its closed source, as it cost them money.
Anyway on a side note of that, I'm using Xperia ultimate HD 2, which is based on stock 4.0.4, so it has HDMI on the stock, I don't know why people would want to cripple their phone by using a limited version of a ROM, missing out on Sony's added apps, like X-Loud, Bravia Engine, HDMI, and a 3rd party camera app that sometimes is lower quality. It just isn't worth it IMO, if you're buying a phone like this you want the best you can get from the hardware and software, and Sony do a pretty good job with their version of Android. Let us not forget they gave us ICS before anyone outside Google.

Why do people keep comparing phones with an additional controller to the XP? "My Tablet X with a PS3 dualshock is soooo much better that the PLAY" etc!! It's like comparing an estate car to a car with a trailer fitted!
Yes, the S4 will probably destroy the play performance wise for gaming, but the fact is that the XP is a '1 piece' device, which you will have if you expect to need it, and even if you didnt expect to need it. You will always have your controller available with the XP Even the Archos Gamepad is a pointless comparison as it has no phone function!
This S4 controller looks like a childs toy, and as I don't often carry a bag round, the last thing I want to carry round in my pocket is a 'toy' controller "just in case I need it". Sorry if this offends anyone but a lot of people on here seem to be blind to the whole point of the XP!

This S4 controller looks like a childs toy, and as I don't often carry a bag round, the last thing I want to carry round in my pocket is a 'toy' controller "just in case I need it". Sorry if this offends anyone but a lot of people on here seem to be blind to the whole point of the XP!

I just took another look at this, yes it looks like a toy. And although as I do like the MOGA controller the lack of a dpad is a big issue in my book. Playing RPGs without a dpad feel unnatural to me.
The ipega doesnt look too bad, but I dont see much support for it. Everything now is the Moga, but as the S4 launches I am sure we will see things swing to the S4 Gampad and its Game Center support software.
Still what gets me though is..... with all these adapters and now Samsung making this... now $ony needs to get their booty in gear and release an Xperia PLAY 2, with some good specs. And yes I know people will say it will hurt their Vita sales.... but I have to say despite the Vita's excellent hardware, its not really selling well.
Come on $ony make an Xperia PLAY 2...... for now I will keep my trusty XP as my main phone and the Moga controller for my tablet. And despite the tablet/Moga I still prefer gaming on my XP.
Thats gross

I can't understand why Sony haven't made a PlayStation certified controller, especially if they're not releasing an Xperia Play 2...
Honestly it looks more like a toy for little children, than a serious gaming device XD. Imagine you take public transportation and are seen with it...
1 - It is too big
2 - It looks like a weird XboX controller
3 - The actual gamepad might be blocking the screen (look at image)
4 - Too weird to carry, what the heck will the public think.

Oh I completely agree. Beautiful phone. I'm not opposed to larger screens... its just I don't and wont carry a secondary gaming adapter with me. The XP is an all in one. I had a coworker the other day who owns am S3 tell me my XP looked awesome. For the emulators alone. And he said he would like to play games on his phone except he hates touchscreen gaming. I let him use my Moga controller. He said it fills the gap but he also agreed its tedious to carry it around. So I say again.... $ony make a new XP2
